2020 Land Rover Range Rover 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · AY20 SFJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2024-08-23 at 67,407 miles confirmed full roadworthiness with no defects, and the preceding test in 2023-08-14 at 50,389 miles also passed without issues. This indicates a stable maintenance trend over the past two years, with no recurring advisories or failures to suggest neglect or impending mechanical failure. The absence of any advisory notes in either test implies the tester did not identify any components requiring attention beyond standard servicing intervals. However, the 18-month gap between tests—nearing the DVSA’s maximum 12-month interval—means the vehicle has been on the road for over a year without formal inspection since August 2024. While this does not inherently raise concern, it does remove the latest professional assessment from the recent past. The recorded mileage of 67,407 miles over approximately 66 months (since the 2020 registration) averages roughly 11,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this model. There are no obvious red flags in the mileage progression, as the gap between tests (17,018 miles in 18 months) does not suggest rapid wear or excessive strain on high-usage components. The lack of intermediate MOTs or service records means there is no evidence of either prolonged inactivity or aggressive driving, though neither can be definitively ruled out without further documentation. The vehicle’s age and mileage place it squarely within the range where suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake caliper binding become more likely candidates for wear, but the clean MOT history offers no prior evidence of these issues. Given the absence of advisories or defects in the MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and track arms, which are common failure points in this model at this mileage. The brake system—including rear caliper binding (a frequent silent failure) and front disc thickness—should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has seen off-road use or exposure to salted roads. Structural integrity, particularly the subframe and wheel arches, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, as Range Rovers are prone to rust in these areas. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, as the MOT does not cover hidden structural failures. While the MOT record provides reassurance, these components are not routinely tested and may require professional assessment beyond the scope of a basic inspection.
